" said:" said:Paragraphs 29 to 37 of this RAIB report give a summary of staffing and operation of the DLR (this was in 2008 though).They have 'staff' during the evenings, though I don't think they do more than let the train go, and press stop if there's an issue.

I was sitting in the front seat of a DLR train once when the staff member on board came and stood next to me to drive manually for a bit. It was quite interesting to see the controls - the train was still receiving speed indications from the control centre, and I rather enjoyed watching the target speed changing.
